I understand that one of these is fundamental before you can get reasonably insured on such a machine. I am thinking about doing it at some point – not just yet, am too skint but maybe next summer or something. Just wondered if any of you had done them, what on, was it worth the hassle and has it helped you for other types you have flown since?
Hope you all had a good new years party last night – ours was good except I have a grotty sniffly cold – cue sympathy!

Yes – on more than one occasion!!
He’s a very good friend of mine though, a top class pilot and one of my formation guys..

The boyfriend has been moaning all Christmas about aforementioned costs – apparently thats the reason he isn’t taking me to Paris for my birthday :rolleyes: Oh well, this is what happens when you face up to the reality of being a flying widow I guess!
As soon as your partner starts moaning about your passions run for cover, it’s just the beginning of the end: an ex-girlfriend had the brilliant idea of telling me “u gotta choose:me or your aircrafts!”… that’s where I was the day after :rolleyes:

Colds caught over the web – sounds like dangerous ground to me – I don’t want to catch anything from Weaver!
Half of me wanted to be in bed drinking night nurse but I decided the only option was to drink through the pain! Shame about the weather – it wasn’t too bad in good old East Anglia. Have just hit the lemsip max strength – hoping it will put me to sleep. I think it’s tradition – every year someone I know feels **** at new year, its just unfortunate that this year it was me!
😮 😮 😮
Personally I’d rather be in bed WITH the night nurse!! Nice birthday present! 😀

I’ve heard this one too many times:
What do you say to a graduate in English literature?
Big Mac and fries please!
We are notoriously unemployable!

Sounds like the first flight will be a beautiful day indeed. When do you think it will be?
I honestly have no idea but it partly depends on money, weather and if any problems arise with the paperwork or the speed the paper moves through the system.
I have been joking that I have been practicing for my new part-time job
“Would you like fries with that?”

One day I hope to be able to moan about hangerage and insurance – having your beautiful plane sitting there surely makes it all worth it?!
When I taxied past the clubhouse yesterday I had a radio call to say “Several spotters have just had orgasms” although I have to say it’ll be much nicer (and the stress levels may actually fall) when I fly.
Sorry to hear about Paris.
Happy B’day for whenever it is, remember life begins at 13! (unless you have changed your details!)

‘on the wagon’ hmmmmm….. I have heard of it but never practised it myself!
Trust me, all you need is hangerage bills and insurance that, in total, costs more than your mortgage and a £5 bottle of wine starts to look VERY expensive!
This way I can save thousands every week!
I may go on the wagon until Patty comes over to fly the Rearwin. I may need a drink after that.

Admittedly, university has taught me very little about anything academic and a lot about having a good time, but I don’t think it is supposed to be that way!

You could try reading some of the internicine debates on the ModMil forum.100% drug-free and far more effective.

Isn’t pure uncut heroin into the jugular vein less dangerous?

The thought of it. If that was the plot for a horror film they would ban it!

This is the second cold I have had in as many months. All the time I was working on the aeroplane in a freezing farm shed I was fine. The minute I get out into a sensible hanger I go down with all sorts of lurgies.
I am now trying the “let’s finish up all the Christmas booze on the pretence it is a cold cure and also an attempt to remove all temptation prior to going back on the wagon*

* – back onthe wagon. An expression to describe giving up alcohol. You probably would not understand as you are a student . . .
